Fodor's Review:

Many of the classic Connaught touches (the grand oak staircase, for example, and the small, elegant bars) remain, but the hotel has an elegant, modern look since a thorough 2007 renovation. Guy Oliver-designed rooms are done in smooth taupes and creams, though some are still on the small side. Bathrooms are also small, but have the latest gadgets. Hélène Darroze at the Connaught brings the titular star Parisian chef to London for the first time, opened in 2008. The walls of the newly redesigned hotel bar are, quite literally, platinum plated. Pros: this is a legendary hotel; great for star-spotting. Cons: you pay a lot for that history; bathrooms are tiny.
